Lemony Syllabub

Last weekend we went round to my mum & dads for a Jamie Oliver curry, a kind of belated birthday dinner for my brother as he was poorly the first time round. I offered to make pudding and decided something palette cleansing was in order.

I hadn't made or even eaten syllabub before but had been inspired after seeing the Tequila syllabub on Masterchef the other week (made by an online acquaintance). It was easy to make, though it started the evening before when I had to infuse some sugar, dessert white wine, lemon & lime juice. Served with some of the lovely Three Chimneys Shortbread it was quite pleasant. Though next time I'd put more lemon juice in as the sweetness took some of the flavour away.

Fold in the cream and pour the syllabub into martini glasses or small pots.

About Me

Welcome to my cake bake blog where I am dreaming of becoming my very own domestic goddess…
Wishful thinking, yes.
Ever since I’ve been quite young I’ve been quite attracted to the job title of Housewife. Maybe it’s because I’m dreadfully lazy & would love to not have to work – just like everyone else! To win the lottery & have a large house with a large family kitchen… a girl can day dream.
